We are "At The
Theater" for our spoiler free review of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the
Ten Rings
Shang-Chi and the
Legend of the Ten Rings is an upcoming American superhero film based on the
Marvel Comics character Shang-Chi. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed
by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is intended to be the 25th film in
the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Destin Daniel
Cretton from a screenplay he wrote with David Callaham and Andrew Lanham, and
stars Simu Liu as Shang-Chi alongside Awkwafina, Tony Leung, Michelle Yeoh,
Fala Chen, Meng'er Zhang, Florian Munteanu, and Ronny Chieng. In the film,
Shang-Chi is forced to confront his past after he is drawn into the Ten Rings
organization.
A film based on
Shang-Chi entered development in 2001, but work did not begin in earnest until
December 2018 when Callaham was hired. Cretton joined in March 2019, with the
project fast-tracked as Marvel's first film with an Asian lead. The film's
title and primary cast were announced that July, revealing the film's
connection to the Mandarin (Leung) and his Ten Rings organization that appears
throughout the MCU. Filming began in February 2020 but was put on hold in March
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Production resumed in August before completing in
October. Shooting occurred in Sydney and San Francisco.
Shang-Chi and the
Legend of the Ten Rings is scheduled to be released in the United States on
September 3, 2021, as part of Phase Four of the MCU.

The original 1974-1983 run (Special Marvel Edition
#15-16, Master of Kung Fu #17-125, Giant-Size Master of Kung Fu #1-4, Master of
Kung Fu Annual #1) introduced Shang-Chi into the Marvel universe. The
first several issues were written by Englehart (with Starlin on artwork), and
Doug Moench takes over the writing duties by Master of Kung Fu #20. Moench
would write all the way until #125.Shang-Chi emerges as a charming and badass protagonist who never wavers
from his purpose. For those who just want to read the origin, the first issue
(Special Marvel Edition #15) is all you need to read. This run also introduces
characters that will feature in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
including the multiple Razor Fists (Master of Kung Fu #29 and 105) and
Death-Dealer (Master of Kung Fu #115). Many other of Shang-Chi’s rogues and
allies are also first introduced in this run including Shadow-Stalker, Midnight
Sun, Cursed Lotus, Darkstrider, Shadow Slasher, Ghost Maker, Clive Reston,
Leiko Wu, Black Jack Tarr and many more.
There are a fair
amount of racial slurs in this series that would not be acceptable under modern
standards, so fair warning for those who choose to read this series.
Secret Avengers #6-10 (2010) by Ed Brubaker and
Mike Deodato. These issues correspond to the “Eyes of the Dragon” arc where
Shang-Chi joins the Secret Avengers to take down his resurrected father.During
this arc, Shang-Chi’s father is now called Zheng Zu. This retcon is handled in-text
by mentioning that Zheng Zu is just one of many names taken by him over
history, though the real reason is that Marvel lost the rights to Fu Manchu and
the other Sax Rohmer characters.
Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1-4 (2014) by Mike
Benson and Tan Eng Huat. Miniseries reintroducing Shang-Chi in a more modern
setting and features the Daughters of the Dragon.
Shang-Chi #1-5 (2020) by Gene Luen Yang and
Dike Ruan. This modern series reintroduces Shang-Chi as a leader of kung fu
clan, the House of the Deadly Hand. After the death of the Supreme Commander of
the Five Weapons Society, a power vacuum arises causing conflict between the
Five Houses. Highly recommend this series, and it does an effective job at
establishing the character of Shang-Chi.

Maltese.Trekking through a jungle
teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad
is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to
make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking
their every movement.And as always, one
wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a
teammate, or Waller herself).If
anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.
